NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 109 Still want to dunk? Get down here (4/5)

In fact, what Lin Chuan cares most about this mission is that the system also gives him a +3 reward for inside defense.

You know, after integrating Olajuwon's defense, his inside defense has reached 97 points.

He had always thought that the system's full score was 99.

And now Jia Sanke is about to break through and reach 100 points. Could it be that his previous understanding of the system was wrong?
No matter what, Lin Chuan must achieve his goal today and test the true limit of the system!
The pre-match warm-up is finally over.

The game officially begins.

The starting lineups of both sides walked onto the court.

As an away team, the Thunder's starting lineup remains unchanged.

The three-young lineup of Lin Chuan + Durant + Westbrook is still maintained.

As well as Sefolosha and Ibaka, two defensive gates, one inside and one outside.

The home Clippers, the starting lineup is as follows:

Point guard: Chris Paul.

Shooting guard: JJ Redick.

Small forward: Caron Butler.

Power forward: Blake Griffin.

Center: DeAndre Jordan.

Compared with the teams we played against before, the Clippers are a rare team that is well balanced inside and outside, with excellent offense and defense.

Especially their center.

DeAndre Jordan.

Height is 211cm, the standard height for a center.

The wingspan is 229cm, which is ridiculously long.

Both hands hang naturally, even to the knees.

Plus, he looks very similar to Liu Bei.

He is also nicknamed "Uncle Liu" by many fans on the other side of the ocean.

And his jumping ability is also amazing.

As an inside player, Jordan's standing jump ability reaches 66 cm, and his running jump is as high as 77 cm.

In comparison, Lin Chuan's jumping ability is only 50 centimeters and his running start is only 65 centimeters.

However, after the off-season last season, Lin Chuan worked hard to train and improved both of these data by 7 centimeters respectively.

All I can say is that gaining muscle and reducing fat is effective.

The game is about to begin.

Lin Chuan and Jordan were on both sides of the center circle.

Get ready for the jump ball.

The referee threw the ball high.

Game start!
"Snapped!"

Lin Chuan and Jordan jumped up at the same time and slapped the basketball with their big hands.

A jump ball not only depends on height and wingspan, but also on jumping ability.

In these two items, Lin Chuan lags behind Jordan, who has explosive physical skills in both static and dynamic aspects!

But the most important thing is whether you can predict the position of the ball!
Basketball IQ comes first.

In a moment, Lin Chuan's hand touched the basketball first.

He shot the basketball away before Jordan could do anything!
The Thunder got the first offensive possession!
Westbrook immediately accelerated as soon as he got the basketball.

Rushing towards the Clippers' penalty area.

But the Clippers also understood the Thunder's style of play and retreated quickly. Paul also immediately blocked Westbrook and prevented him from rushing forward.

"The fast break that we wanted to dunk at the start didn't work for us."

Chris Paul, who is 1 meters tall, was standing against Westbrook, who is 83 meters tall, and was talking trash.

Westbrook didn't stick to the ball. He passed the ball to Lin Chuan as soon as he encountered an obstacle.

Lin Chuan received the ball at the free throw line, and Jordan in the paint immediately got into a defensive position, squatting slightly with his legs lowered, ready to jump up and block Lin Chuan's shot at any time.

Griffin quickly gave up on Ibaka and rushed forward to assist in defense.

According to Lin Chuan's previous playing style, he would choose to pass the ball to an open space and complete the attack with a simple style of play.

However, today Lin Chuan chose to fight them head-on!
There is no other reason. Only by confronting them head-on can the two young inside players of the Clippers get excited.

Just as they boasted before the game, they rushed in and dunked on me.

To stimulate discussion, Lin Chuan used the Thirty-Six Stratagems to bully black people in basketball games.

Facing Griffin's assist defense, Lin Chuan immediately started to play back.

Jordan Jr. was still in the inside, and he and Griffin suddenly became parallel lines.

In order to double-team Lin Chuan, he came around from one side.

A double team is about to form.

But Lin Chuan was not panicked at all and was very calm!
Dribble hard when turning your back to the basket.

At the same time, the whole person rushed towards Griffin.

"clang!"

There was a dull thud, and even though Griffin had excellent physical fitness, he was still knocked back half a step.

Relying on this brief open space, before Jordan Jr. could catch up, Lin Chuan instantly received the ball, turned around and took a big step.

He held the ball high with both hands and was about to make a layup.

Griffin was knocked away and didn't have time to pull his body back to interfere.

But Jordan Jr. caught up!

He took two steps forward and jumped high. With his 77-centimeter bounce, he was about to block Lin Chuan's layup beyond the three-point line!
Completely destroy Lin Chuan's steady attack!

However, Lin Chuan was already prepared for Jordan Jr. to come forward to defend!

Just at the moment when he was overshadowed by Jordan Jr.

Lin Chuan pulled the basketball back down.

While he was still rising, Lin Chuan took advantage of the time difference, leaned his arm towards Jordan's arm, and made a layup.

"Beep!"

At the same time, a foul was caused!
Even facing the defense of two people, Lin Chuan still scored easily!
What's more, the Clippers' defensive star DeAndre Jordan was fouled in the first round at the beginning of the game!
"Lin Chuan! Facing a double team in the first round, he was able to easily break free and score a goal, and even caused a foul!"

"Look at this! The Clippers' proud interior defense is no match for Lin Chuan!"

Today's ESPN commentator Jeff Van Gundy worked particularly hard and was very excited to see Lin Chuan play so well right from the start.

"The Clippers' defense was not weak. They blocked Westbrook's fast break right from the start. The two players in the interior were also smart. They knew to double-team him as soon as they had the ball. However, Lin Chuan's offensive skills were still too good."

"That turn to break the double-team is a video that can be watched and learned by every team's inside players."

"Let the future center of the league rise again."

In the commentary room, the Clippers have already launched their attack.

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt.

Jordan Jr. stepped up to set a screen, and Paul immediately cut in from the outside.

But as a city of alley-oops, their style of play is obviously not that simple.

At the same time, Griffin was already on the free throw line heading towards the basket.

Just as everyone's attention was attracted by Paul, he raised the ball with both hands and threw it straight in front of the basket.

In an instant, a person appeared in the air!

Griffin caught the ball with his right hand and was about to smash it into the basket!

His left hand was already searching for Lin Chuan in front of him, wanting to pin him down for a dunk!
"Snapped!"

Griffin's dunk was blocked by Lin Chuan from the right!
Both the player and the ball were blocked!

The momentum was interrupted, and the white monster with excellent physical fitness fell to the ground immediately.

He was confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Why, Lin Chuan was not dunked over by him, why was he blocked instead!
